Description



BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a cabinet, and more particularly to a do it yourself (DIY) modular cabinet that can be conveniently assembled or disassembled without using any tools.

2. Description of Related Art

Do it yourself (DIY) modular furniture is currently popular because DIY furniture can be transported easily after being disassembled into component pieces and also can be changed into different forms depending on different requirements. Additionally, people enjoy a sense of achievement when the furniture is completed.

However, DIY modular furniture still has some disadvantages because tools are needed when the furniture is assembled or disassembled. For example, a conventional DIY cabinet is composed of multiple boards or sheets of materials to fabricate a frame in which objects are held. Fastening devices detachably used to connect adjacent boards or sheets of materials to construct a frame are mostly flat-head or oval-head countersunk screws that require a suitable screwdriver to fasten or release the countersunk screws. Therefore, assembling or disassembling the DIY cabinet is inconvenient or impossible when suitable tools are not available.

The present invention has arisen to mitigate or obviate the disadvantages of the conventional DIY cabinet.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The main objective of the present invention is to provide a do it yourself (DIY) modular cabinet that can be conveniently assembled and disassembled without using any tools.

A DIY cabinet in accordance with the present invention has a foldable frame, a top panel, a bottom panel, a rear panel, multiple pop-it fasteners, optionally at least one door assembly and an optional shelf. The panels are attached to the frame with the pop-it fasteners. Each pop-it fastener is composed of a countersunk tube and a stud. The countersunk tubes are pressed into head holes in the top and bottom panels, and the studs are screwed into and extend from base holes in the panels corresponding to the head holes containing the countersunk tubes. The studs extending from the base holes are pressed respectively into the countersunk tubes. Thereby, the panels are conveniently mounted on the frame without using any tools. Moreover, the foldable frame reduces the size of the disassembled cabinet.

Further benefits and advantages of the present invention will become apparent after a careful reading of the detailed description with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.

The front and rear boards in each foldable side panel (11) have inner edges (not numbered), outer edges (not numbered), top edges (not numbered), bottom edges (not numbered), multiple base holes (not numbered) and multiple optional mortises (412). The base holes are formed in the top and bottom edges of the front and the rear boards and may be threaded. The mortises (412) are formed in the inner and outer edges of the front and rear boards. The inner edges are pivotally attached to each other so the foldable side panels (11) fold inward. Furthermore, the foldable side panels (11) are pivotally attached respectively to the right and left sides of the front frame (101) and the rear frame (102) at the outer edges of the front and the rear boards by multiple hinges (40). The hinges (40) may be countersunk flush mounted hinges.

With reference to FIG. 4, each countersunk flush mounted hinge comprises two tenons (41) and a metal pivot (42). Each tenons (41) is made of resilient material, has an inside end (not numbered), an outside end (not numbered), an upper edge (not numbered), a lower edge (not numbered), a recess (not numbered), multiple optional slits (414), multiple optional anti-slip ribs (416) and multiple optional expansion screws (not numbered). The tenons (41) are mounted respectively in mortises (412) defined in the front frame (101), the rear frame (102) and the front or rear boards of the foldable side panels (11). The slits (414) are defined longitudinally in the tenons (41) to allow the tenons (41) to compress slightly and easily wedge respectively into corresponding mortises (412). The anti-slip ribs (416) are formed transversely on the upper and lower edges of each tenon (41) to provide additional friction between the tenon (41) and the corresponding mortise (412) so the tenon (41) will not slip out of the mortise (412). The expansion screws are align ed respectively with the longitudinal slits (414) and screw into the tenon (41) to spread the tenon (41) and cause the tenon (41) to hold securely in the corresponding mortise (412).

The metal pivot (42) comprises two first sheets (422) and two second sheets (424). Each sheet (422, 424) has two ends (not numbered). The first and the second sheets (422, 424) are pivotally attached to each other at one end and are pivotally attached respectively in the corresponding recesses in the two tenons (41) at the other end. The countersunk flush mounted hinges are mounted between the front frame (101) and the outer edges of the front boards of the foldable side panels (111), between the rear frame (102) and the outer edges of the rear boards of the foldable side panels (11), and between the inner edges of the front and rear boards of the foldable side panels (11) to make the foldable side panels (11) pivot on the foldable frame (10).

The rear panel (12) is attached to the rear frame (102) and has multiple optional ventilating holes (not numbered).

The top panel (20) is attached to the top of the foldable frame (10) and has a bottom surface (not numbered) and multiple head holes (201). The head holes (201) are aligned with the multiple base holes (not numbered) in the top edge of the front and rear boards in each foldable side panel (11).

With reference to FIG. 5, each locking device (50) has a plate (52) and a spring-loaded ball (54). The plate (52) has a dent (522) and is attached to the front frame (101). The spring-loaded ball (54) is partially embedded in the door (244) and has a housing (not numbered), a ball (542) and a spring (544). The ball (542) and the spring (544) are mounted inside the housing and align with the dent (522) in the plate (52). When the door (244) is closed, the ball (542) is pushed by the spring (544) to engage the dent (522) to hold the door (244) in position relative to the front frame (101).

The optional shelf (60) is assembled with the pop-it fasteners (30) and is mounted inside the foldable frame (10).

According to foregoing description, all elements of the DIY cabinet can be assembled or dissembled without any tools. Moreover, the DIY cabinet also does not occupy much space when disassembled because each panel can be detached from the foldable frame (10) and the foldable frame (10) can be folded to make the size of the cabinet as small as possible.

Although the invention has been explained in relation to multiple preferred embodiments, many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.
